Heart Issues

I teach Sunday School to 2nd and 3rd graders. We have been discussing "heart issues." The topic of our conversation comes from "man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart." God looks down into the heart and sees what is there. We may fool others around us, but God knows the truth.

David is the example of one who loved God and lived his life accordingly. He had a desire to walk with God and please him. David depended upon God and never lost sight of the fact he could do nothing aside from God.

David sought God early in his day. He had a relationship with God. David also had a grateful heart. He gave praise and thanks to God in all circumstances. He knew God was worthy of all praise and thanksgiving.

David also had a repentant heart. When he sinned he did not place blame on others, but confessed before God his wrongdoing with a repentant heart and sought the Lord's forgiveness. Psalm 51.

God wants us to be a people after His own heart. We must continually be in fellowship with Him and allow Him to change our hearts from the inside to the outside. Just as David walked with God daily, we must do the same. I am ready to set the example to my Sunday School children and those around me, that all may know I have a personal relationship with God. Are you?

and my sin is ever before me.
